My Nan used to be a big op shopper but she complains that these days there is nothing good there, she knows the people that work there and she swears they get all the good stuff first. And she knows a few who have market stalls and she suspects they get freebies from the op shop and then resell it at the markets. Is this possible or is their a policy of some sort you have to follow?

I expressed an interest in something that would ordinarily be disposed off (for health reasons - re: the ear plugs). My boss prices anything I would like. The boss and I price anything that the volunteers would like. I price anything the boss would like. You still have to get a fair price as that is the correct thing to do.

To be honest, you see a lot that you like but you get over buying as so much stuff comes in.

I view items, well "we can raise X for that" for our charity and prefer (particularly) the high end stuff to go on the shop floor.

Thanks Stormy.
